James and his team marketed the house creatively in a softening market giving us succinct updates on potential purchasers' interests after each opening and negotiating with the successful buyer to achieve an excellent price. He and his team are highly motivated and communicated sensitively during a stressful time. James explained their strategy and the processes of the sale so we were clear about the progress and build up to the auction.

I engaged Adrian after another agent failed to sell my property Front the start Adrian and his outstanding team worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome, in fact an equal street record. I found Adrian to be honest with his appraisal of my property and his local knowledge to be second to none I have no hesitation to recommend him and his team at McGrath Avalon to anyone Brad Collins

We worked with Lauren for 6 weeks while selling our home. Lauren covered all aspects of the sale, from interior design input, open houses and the auction. She is a good communicator, reliable and has a warm nature. We enjoyed working with Lauren and highly recommend her if you are thinking of selling or buying a home.

James recently sold our property at 14 Goodwin Road, Newport. James delivered exceptional customer service, offered honest advice and throughout the whole sale process we felt James had our best interests at heart. In what was a very stressful time in our lives (trying to sell our home with a newborn in tow) we were impressed with the service we received from James and Lauren. They had great communication, were very approachable and always there to offer support, guidance and offer assistance when needed. We were very happy with the end result and would highly recommend James and his team to anyone looking for a local agent!

I suppose it’s not often that the purchaser of a property has such a positive experience with the vendor’s agent, but from the very first inspection Adrian and his team were courteous, informative, professional and enthusiastic. As a first time buyer I was never made to feel intimidated by the process and Adrian talked me through every stage of the encounter. Adrian is a highly successful agent, so for him to take the time to call us after hours and relay sentiment and understanding around certain factors during the buying process (sometimes for over an hour) allowed us to offer and ultimately purchase the property with confidence. He was able to intercept any potential misunderstanding between buyer and vendor to ensure both parties felt great about the sale. We would suggest Adrian and his team be the first call for anyone looking to sell on the Northern Beaches.

James worked on our recent sale, from his initial appraisal he was genuine and honest about the market. He was open with his role about supporting us as vendors be realistic with the value of our house. Ensuring our expectations are on track with the market. His advice, guidance and support were priceless and we were prepared with every avenue throughout our campaign. The result we achieved was outstanding and this is due to an experienced, responsive and skilled team. James has a wonderful team around him and Lauren Garner was outstanding as the other agent on our listing. The work hand in hand, a synchronised dance & compliment each other. During our auction James checked in with us during stressful decision making moments and even after getting the go ahead. Check in again not once but twice. This gesture was not that of an agent making a sale but a genuine understanding of our families financial position. We thoroughly enjoyed our journey together and cannot recommend them more. James is by far the best agent in town!

I am pleased to recommend Sam - he was very professional and easy to work with. I appreciated his calm, business like manner. His knowledge of the local area was very useful. Sam's communication skills are excellent. He regularly kept me updated with the process and he always returned my calls very promptly. His friendly manner made my purchase an enjoyable experience, instead of a stressful one.

We were relatively new to the area and had never met Sam the first time we worked with him. That was nearly 10 years ago now and he has helped us with both buying and selling our homes on the Northern Beaches since. Sam's genuine interest and support in our family finding a home we are happy with has been faultless and we have achieved several street records when selling with him. At no stage have we felt 'on our own' in what have at times been very aggressive market conditions with Sam often going above and beyond to source additional off market opportunities to suit what we're looking for. He really has his finger on the pulse on what's happening in the area and delivers great results. We regularly recommended Sam to family & friends because he is genuinely someone you can trust. A great guy and a brilliant agent!

Adrian is a really nice guy but knowledgeable and thorough, and never stops working to get me, the client the very best deal. Along the way, there will be problems. But Adrian treats them like stepping stones to the other side of a river. It you need a painter, a tiler, a carpenter or any other trades person, Adrian seems to have then all on speed dial. And he follows up and makes sure that everything is done right.

James put in a lot of effort to ensure we had everything we needed in response to some complex queries ahead of the auction after we emerged as buyers quite late in the campaign, and is in general a real pleasure to deal with. We would happily recommend James to anyone in the Northern Beaches market!
